„Parma“ club officially announced with original video recordings on their social networks that Gianluigi Buffon is returning to the team, where he started his professional career 26 years ago. The legendary goalkeeper will not finish the next 2 seasons of his career since he signed a two-year contract with „Parma“. However, this „Serie A“ season was unsuccessful for Gigi's youth club, so next year they will only compete in the second most powerful division of Italy, „Serie B“. But G. Buffon still has hopes of returning to „Serie A“, because, as mentioned, the contract with „Parma“ is signed for 2 years, and the owners of the club have recently changed, so the hopes are alive. Previously, journalist Fabrizio Romano also announced that the 43-year-old goalkeeper dreams of being the third Italian goalkeeper in the 2022 World Cup in Doha.

He is back where he belongs. He is back home. #SupermanReturns 🔙🟡🔵
